"Large pieces of fresh meat, bear skins, complete horns, bones of prairie wolves... What is this? It actually has the feathers of a red-billed bird?"
After flipping through the package in front of him, Spartak's face gradually became surprised: "Where have you been running to these past few days?"
"There is a behavior of animals called migration." Tianlai Novel WWW.⒉" Duan Qing, carrying a broken knife, looked up at the sky: "Although the specific situation is not very clear, but... this kind of southern forest only exists Birds, a batch did pass by the morning before yesterday.”
"Hey, you're lucky." Spartak shook his head and continued to rummage through the bag in front of him: "In that case... you don't have to go to such trouble to resell it, just sell it to me directly."
"...Do you know the use of this bird feather?"
"Decoration items, enchanting materials, of course... the most important thing is spell-casting props." Spartak replied without raising his head: "The guys in the Wizards Council are never short of money, so... this thing is stable. Make something you can’t lose.”
"...I can't tell that you know the geography of the Free Continent very well."
“You’ll know this too if you travel a lot.”
Standing up with his hands clapped, Spartak thought for a while, first explained a few words to the little girl who was following him, and then turned back and pointed at the pile of junk that looked like scraps of copper and iron: "A rough estimate. It would cost about 4,500 gold coins at once... Your efficiency is not low."
"Of course, we are the Fool's Adventure Group."
Duan Qing shouted this slogan feebly, and Duan Qing smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, then spread his hands towards the other party: "For the sake of my comrades, how about I give you four thousand gold coins?"
"No, just four thousand and five thousand, but..."
Spartak showed a strange smile, then reached into his arms, and the first thing he took out was a package of animal skin: "I think you may need this more."
"Wow...barbecue!"
With a sigh in his mouth, Duan Qing quickly took the thrown package, then quickly untied the piece of animal skin and started chewing it: "You don't know... ahem... you can't... How uncomfortable it is to turn those ingredients into barbecue...cough cough cough..."
"Five hundred gold coins are a great favor. I accept the payment."
"...Hey, you're too dark, aren't you? At least there should be some...water or something..."
"Originally, I was taking advantage of the situation." Spartak immediately threw out a water bag, and then smiled deeply: "But I am also studying how to turn cooking in the free world into a reality, although there is no progress yet..."
"According to my guess... this thing is ultimately a matter of simulation." Gudong Gudong drank half a bag of water, Duan Qing wiped his mouth, and then showed a distressed expression: "Just like The understanding of skills is the same, heavy slash, earth-shattering attack... If you do the right action, its standard will be figured out. It's just that the cooking in the free continent may be different from the cooking in our reality, even It’s possible beyond our imagination, so…”
"Well, that makes some sense."
Spartak nodded with his chin on his head: "Maybe we should try some dark cooking methods...hehehehehe."
"..."
Looking at the sinister smile on the other party's face, Duan Qing shuddered inexplicably. As his chewing movements gradually slowed down, the boiled meat in his hand became less delicious. However, the sinister expression only lasted for a moment on Spartak's face, and then he set his sights on Duan Qing's back: "Your weapon..."
"Oh, I had a fight with someone in the city." Duan Qing waved his hand nonchalantly: "I was tricked by the other party."
"There is someone who can do this..." Spartak's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"
"You'd better not get involved." Duan Qing said vaguely: "Unless... you also want to become as miserable as me."
"...Why, you look down on my strength?
"It's not strength, it's power."
Looking up again and taking a sip of water, Duan Qing stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, let out a long breath, and then showed a bitter smile: "The current situation in the principality... is very strange. If you don't understand the situation, you may die. I don’t know how he died…”
"The affairs of the principality... have nothing to do with me in the first place, and I don't bother to care about their life or death." Spartak shook his head slowly: "But... I can't just watch you be so unlucky. Go down, this goes against my philosophy of life.”
"...Then just wait." After staring at the other party for a long time, Duan Qing slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and finally showed a relieved smile: "If possible, there will be many tough battles here after all. I hit you."
"when?"
"It won't be long..."
In the woods in the early morning, the vague figures talked to each other for a while, and then dispersed again as someone left, each running in their own direction. Duan Qing, who was carrying another small package, slowly approached the foot of Tania's city. Then he touched the wooden outer walls of the players' guilds and came to the shadows near the city gate where people came in and out. among. Not long after, another man in black armor clasped his hands and walked out of the city gate with a large number of players. Then he stood on the side of the road, waved to the crowd behind him and shouted: "Go, go, go!" , after delivering today’s batch of things, we have to go to the front line to build bunkers!”
"Should we be so concerned about the war, boss? They didn't give me any money this time..."
"Nonsense! Our base is at the foot of this city. If we don't guard against the Imperials, will we have to put all the blood and sweat in the early stage?"
The large group of people pushed each other and lingered at the city gate for a long time. Then, under the watchful eyes of the city guards, they slowly moved out of the city gate. The big man in black armor clapped his hands and scolded a few guys who looked like younger brothers around him for a while. Then he nodded with some satisfaction and turned around and returned to the city with the few members of the congregation. Their team swayed in disarray and walked along the Rue Arre for a while, and then turned around and walked into a side alley just before arriving at Cabin Castle.
"It took such a big battle..." A young man following him suddenly sighed: "I can't bear it."
"Do you think I want to do this?" Nan Tieshan puffed out his chest with disdain, then slumped his shoulders and whispered: "I explained the situation to our Iron Fist Gang members, and they all followed... "
"Your gang members are all loyal people." Duan Qing sighed and said, "Anyway, thank you in advance."
"How dare you come in this time?" Nan Tieshan waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked back and said, "Where is your grand commander?"
"If my guess is correct, they should have arrived at the alliance headquarters." Duan Qing reached out and took off the hood on his head: "They are all waiting to watch the game."
"Go to the scene?" Nan Tieshan screamed: "You guys are really rich...and you, why didn't you go?"
"Let's take care of the funeral affairs." Duan Qing carried his package: "While they are away."
"You know how to get there, right?"
"I know, if it really doesn't work... I will come back and contact you."
The figures of the two people became farther and farther away as the sound became smaller, and then completely disappeared from each other's sight when the surrounding guards were about to come over for questioning. A moment later, there was a sudden commotion in a moving convoy in the west of Tania City. A figure took advantage of the attention of the guards who were gradually gathering there and quietly walked to the door of a certain tavern.
"Sorry, this guest, Valia Tavern is currently closed..."
"I want to see your president." Duan Qing lifted his hood and put on a bright smile: "As an old friend."
"……go in."
The two men in black who were guarding the door looked at each other, then stepped aside and simply let Duan Qing's figure in. Then they closed the door and separated the darkness that had just leaked from the world outside the door. Block it off. However, it turned out that the malice represented by the darkness was by no means false, because not long after, he was surrounded by a group of men in black and saw Mr. Hank, who was still dressed like a bartender: "This battle ...Do you want to rise up?"
"……It's you?"
After waving his hand to disperse the murderous crowd around him, Hank slowly walked out of the bar: "Sorry, the pub has encountered some... troubles in the past two days, so our nerves are a little nervous."
"I understand. After all, I am also one of the victims." Duan Qing twisted his shoulders and dropped the package behind him on the ground: "With your ability... you shouldn't need me to tell my story again, right?"
"What are you doing here?" Hank did not answer Duan Qing's question, but took a sip from the wooden cup in his hand and asked casually.
"Since the president is so happy, then... I will say it directly." Duan Qing clapped his hands with a little joy: "I want to know the current situation in the city, and... make a deal."
"This is the deposit." He pointed to the package at his feet, then looked into the other person's eyes: "How about it?"
"In the past period of time, I heard that you were working for Queen Maggie." Hank raised one of his hands and turned it back and forth: "Why, you are no longer obsessed with that woman and devoting everything to her. ?”
"That's just a transaction." Duan Qing nodded indifferently: "You see, we adventurers are so honest, and we will try our best to complete what we have agreed upon..."
"...Very good." The man who looked like a bartender looked out the window of the tavern, then frowned and said, "In that case...how about adding another commission from us?"
"make a deal."
"...Don't you want to ask about the content of the commission first?"
"No."
Duan Qing showed a confident smile: "If I guessed correctly..."
"Your mission should be what I want to do."
************************************
On April 1, 2135, in a leaning tower-like building on the northeast side of Cerulean City, a gorgeous and eye-catching platform was gradually rising in a huge venue, and then it was slowly rising up. Under the gaze of a large number of players and spectators, it unfolded around and gradually turned into a super stage with flashing lights. Deafening shouts and cosplayers wearing free world aboriginal costumes immediately appeared in that direction, and the organ sound with the original flavor of the free world gradually began to sound. Even the shouts of souvenir vendors on the sidelines seemed to be mixed in. It incorporates some local characteristics from the free world, and then uses the night time to infect the atmosphere from the game world into the hearts of every audience present. However, veteran players who have adapted to these routines are still somewhat immune to such an atmosphere, and they have a relatively clear purpose in coming to this place this time.
Watching games, learning postures, cheering for your favorite players... If you must add another reason that is different from the past, then it is probably to carefully observe the virtual venue of the upcoming UEFA Cup final.
The news at yesterday's press conference has spread all over the country as quickly as possible. In addition to the news revealed by the man surnamed Chu, the attitudes and plans of many alliances related to other events have gradually surfaced, arousing the public's enthusiasm. At the same time, it also cast a more mysterious color on the hosting of the UEFA Cup final. However, in terms of effectiveness, the results of this speech were still successful. At least some of the backlog of on-site tickets were sold out early, and the number of virtual tickets on the Internet also increased by 20% out of thin air. The pressure increased happily. The originally prepared live viewing platform had to be opened to the second floor due to the increase in temporary audiences - just like the live concert a hundred years ago, such a location is naturally It was a bit worse, but the audience who were latecomers didn't have much reason to complain. After all, it was impossible to fight for a seat while holding one's neck while the police around them watched.
However, this does not mean... there is no other way to sit in front of everyone.
"We are sitting here...will everything be okay?"
Looking at the dense crowd of heads opposite her, the little girl quietly retracted her gaze, then looked at the words "Player's Seat" written next to the circular arrangement of the sand, and shrank her head in fear: "We are not Competitors…”
"What are you afraid of! Sister Liushang has taught us this a long time ago." The man in a punk shirt on the side also got a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and was putting them on his nose with a showy look: "If someone asks, just say We are relatives of the players..."
"Shh...!"
After looking around at the people around him, Mengzhu retracted his finger, and then carefully warned in a low voice: "What if I ask more questions? Which player are we related to?"
"...Don't worry, didn't you notice there were so many people sitting in this place? They probably all sneaked in like this." Xiao Hongchen also lowered his head: "Although the location of the wine table here is special, as long as it is still There is nothing to be afraid of in the audience. Sister Liushang has already emphasized that as long as you watch the game with peace of mind, there will be no problem! Look at this distance and this angle, tsk tsk... I have never enjoyed such good treatment in my life. !”
"It's not like watching them dance, so what's the use of being so close..." the little girl muttered, "They say they can put the competition scenes on the stage virtually, but looking at the news from yesterday's press conference, I don't believe they can do it! Even if it is a free world we have never seen, the scenes must be bigger than the last..."
“There’s a technology called scaling.”
As this explanation sounded, the woman carrying the scent of roses stepped through the darkness deep on the side of the stage, then turned around with a lavender dress, and sat down beside the two of them elegantly: "The official meeting of the alliance Put the image of the game on the large specially-made reverse image board in front of us at a suitable scale. If necessary, you can drag it... Well, have you ever played a real-time strategy game? It's the kind where you drag a small map... …”
"...Who will operate these things?" The little girl hesitated for a while, then blinked and asked, "What if oB is a scumbag?"
"Then I can only hope that they will be more professional." Xu Yu Liushang shook his head back: "Otherwise...someone will come to settle the score with them."
"...Hehehehe."
With the two people smiling together, the stage just a few steps away from them suddenly became quiet, and then the lights went dark, illuminating a blurry figure in the center of the field of vision. The whispers of the surrounding audience gradually calmed down with the appearance of this figure. However, from the distance that they could not see, Mengzhu could still see something different - that rather vague human form. , seems to be the projection mentioned by several people before.
"Ladies! Gentlemen! Good evening, everyone!" The next moment, the figure suddenly raised his hands, and then like the conductor of the band, he sang loudly: "Welcome to tonight's..."
"Black boxing match!"
